The government on Thursday ‘dismissed’ the acting secretary to the Prime Minister’s Office(PMO), AHM Nurul Islam, following allegations of conspiracy to overthrow the BNP regime. Prime Minister Khaleda Zia made a final decision in the afternoon to sent Nurul Islam into ‘forced’ retirement. The official order, signed by the president in the evening, was issued Thursday night.
PMO sources said that a primary investigation found ‘elements of doubt and signs of conspiracy’ in Islam’s activities, leading to a planned instability linked with the opposition Awami League’s April 30 deadline.
